What to book: Sleepover at the Shard

A blind date like no other

“We met at a sleepover 800 feet above London,” might not be the most obvious way to tell your grandchildren about how you met the love of your life, but it’s certainly the most original.

Activity-based dating site www.doingSomething.co.uk is offering adventurous singletons the chance to meet Mr or Mrs Right in one of the most exciting ways possible – at a sleepover at the top of the Shard – marking the first time the London landmark has allowed anyone overnight access.

As the city lights dim, revellers will be given a tour of the night sky by staff from the Royal Observatory, listen to readings from acclaimed writers and poets from the London Literary Salon and even enjoy a midnight feast courtesy of Pizza Pilgrims. Just think; by breakfast time you might be watching the sunrise over the capital with a new partner in crime.

Well, can you think of a better way to look for love on a Saturday night?

Tickets cost £99 a person; a limited number of 130 spots are available to book online with the official ticket partner www.designmynight.com here. Tickets include a free 30-day membership for new sign-ups.
